(Sunphoto) Scouters honor George Summer Scoutmaster George R. Sum mer was among six Scouters honored for their service to youth at a dinner Tuesday night at Furman University. The occasion was the 45th an nual recognition dinner. The Scouting program of Newberry was also recognized. Top award for membership growth went to the Newberry District, which has Richard Britt as chairman. Mr. Summer was recognized for service as a cubmaster, as sistant scoutmaster and scout master on the unit level, and as 0. A. Chapter advisor and lodge advisor of the Blue Ridge Council. National camping awards for quality camping based on tech niques with a required minimum of 10 days and nights spent un der tentage went to a number of Newberry troops. The troop, sponsor, and unit leader are tion about the animal would also serve as an early warning to inspectors when animals come from locations known to have disease or biological res idue problems. This is a pretty good idea and maybe all in terested in a good livestock program should help push this idea over. If it accomplished no other purpose, it certainly would help the beef cattle pro ducers to tell which of their cows were not paying their own way and the ones that did not have a calf every 12 months. Positive identification of animal would surely make the culling of the herd much easier. Farm Asset Insurance In spite of efforts to main tain safe farm conditions, it's good business to protect your self against damaging law suits by having personal lia bility insurance. Landowners are learning that they bear the responsibil ity for the safety of others, even for trespassers who enter the property illegally. Lakes, ponds, buildings, dangerous animals and farm machinery can be known legally as at tractive nuisances. These po tential hazards should be eliminated for your own pro tection as well as for the safe ty of those entering your prop erty. If you see trespassers warn them of possible danger and ask them to leave the proper ty. If potential hazards con tinue to exist in spite of ef forts to eliminate them and if trespassing children ignore warnings contact parents and explain the situation. If nec essary, ask police to check the area periodically. Money ob tained through a lawsuit is small compensation for serious injury or loss of life, but it can put the landowner in ser ious financial trouble. Liability insurance is your protection a- gainst financial ruin should a serious accident occur on your property. Fifty-Ton Consumer One cow producing 14,000 pounds or about 6,700 quarts of milk in a year, needs more than 51 tons of grass, hay, grain and water say the scien tist at Kansas State Univers ity in a recent article in “Grassland News.” A 1,300 pound cow will eat about three tons of grain and protein feed a year, two and one-half tons of hay, and six tons of silage. She will wash the feed down with more than 80 thousand pounds of water. She eats and drinks about 255 pounds of fuel daily. The water she drinks helps build up the blood she pumps through her udder. In a day’s time, a cow reportedly pumps 400 pounds of blood through udder to Putting you first, keeps us first For control, the galls should be handpicked as soon &r they appear in the spring. Where the disease is severe each year fungicidal sprays are effective, but they must be applied immediately to new leaf growth and to the newly formed leaves. For camellias, the first sym- ptons of the gall disease are fleshy, tongue like develop ments on new leaves. The skin on the underside of affected leaves ruptures and will peel off after about 12 days to ex pose whitish masses of fungal spores. Eventually the galled leaves wither and die. The only control is to handpick or prune the affected leaves before the leaf skin ruptures. Picking the leaves after the fungal spores are scattered is too late. It's true! A decent-sized bone- fish (six to ten pounds) will rip 100 to 200 yards of line from your reel in his initial run.— Sports Afield. March 1, 1969 The Newberry County Board of Tax Review and Appeals have completed hearings on all ap peals made in the time set. There will be no more appeals until next January and February, 1970. Hunter L. Fellers, Chairman produce a pound of milk. To produce 14,000 pounds of milk a year, one cow needs 11 1-2 tons of feed and more than 40 tons of water. • A 50 cow herd used more than 2,500 tons of fuel annually. Azaleas and Camellias Among the rash of disease and insect problems which may plague the azaleas or camellia grower shortly is the leaf gall disease. This disease usually hits as soon as the plant be gins making new vegatative growth. This is not particul arly damaging and usually it will not kill the plant and the control is relatively simple if the grower does not have too many plants. On azaleas, the first symp- tons are fleshy, light green to pink galls in the new leaf growth. They soon become chalky white with fungal spores and later turn dark brown and become hard.

Department of Agriculture has proposed in augurating a system to better identify animals and parts of animals until after slaughter inspection is completed. The proposed amendment to the meat inspection regulations provides for retaining ear tags, back tags, and all other man made identifying devices so that they can be attached or related to the carcass after the animal is slaughtered and until inspection is completed. This will be used to trace the origin of animals whose meat is found to be unwholesome. Retaining all the informa America^ No.1 Tourist Attraction. Chevrolet^ Sports-Recreation Dept. 1.
